emerald + ruby ATCs

Here are ATCs for a small group of friends I trade with monthly: Colour Groupies! February's colors were emerald and ruby . . . Yes, I was busy teaching and did not get these done until early March. Then it took about 3 weeks for them to arrive with everyone, so I could not share them with you until now. They must stay a secret until all the recipients have them! These are different, a combination of a gel medium transfer, which I did not really like, and transparencies of the same images - combined. I also added a few paper collage images and bits of transparencies to help the colours to be more apparent.

Here you can see some pretty undesirable gel medium transfers
on the bottom row with the same images printed
as transparencies, directly above them.

Here I have started combining them,
adding the transparency image over the transfer.

I kept this one for myself -for my Colour Groupies notebook!
It is great fun to have all the ATCs for each color on one page.
One artist's idea of emerald & ruby can be very different from another!

I sewed around all the edges and sent them off with my March colours of Coffee and Chocolate, ooh la la! I'll have those for you in another post!

about me . . .

I'm a creative artist working in mixed-media who lives in Florida with my husband Steve and our dog Chloe, cats Lightning & Luna... I love to create, to share & inspire. I also enjoy dancing, taking photographs, working in my art journals, creating small collage & mail art, really doing anything creative! We are fortunate to live on the Braden River, traveling by boat quite a lot.

I've been published in books, magazines and hosted many art exchanges or swaps. View the past swap art I've hosted & learn about any new swaps on the creativeswaps blog.

My website has been online since 1995 with many thanks to my son Decklin! When he was just 14 years old he coded a website for me, amazing. About 20 years later I built a brand new site for myself with Squarespace. It's a work in progress, but I'm very proud of what I've managed to do! ❤ Go here to view it: creative lenna website

Between 2006-2015, I wrote and shared over 1000 entries on creativelenna blogspot. I do not add posts to this blog anymore because I've created my own personal blog as part of the creative lenna website. But, the original blog remains online as an archive. The current blog is found on my new website. ❤

Let
yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love.
